Yen Can Cook: Air Fried Pork Neck
Pork neck or sometimes also known as the pork collar, it is wonderfully marbled meat with right amount of lean meat, muscle, and fat. It is ideal for grilling, braising and slow, smokey barbecuing. Due to the high level of fat, it is best to be grilled and my first taste of pork neck was Thai style bbq pork neck. It had a pretty impressive flavors and texture, the meat was well infused with marinade and the texture was tender!
Today’s recipe is inspired by the above bbq pork but instead of grilling I used a more hassle free method which is air frying. For those who don’t have an air fryer, you can cook the meat in the oven as well.
Ingredients
300g pork neck
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 teaspoon dark soy sauce
1 tablespoon palm sugar/brown sugar
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Step 1: Mix all the ingredients in a big bowl then put in the pork neck and marinate overnight.
Step 2: Preheat the air fryer. Remove the pork from marinade and lightly pat dry with paper towels, place the meat in the basket or grill pan with the fatter side on top. Before that, score the fatter side a big cross to prevent the meat from curling up during the cooking process. Air fry the meat at 200β for 6 minutes, brush the remaining marinade (Step 1) once during the cooking process.
Step 3: Flip meat and cook on another side at 200β for 6 minutes, brush the remaining marinade (Step 1) once during the cooking process.
(For oven, use the same method, time and temperature as well but after both sides have been grilled, increase the temperature to 250β, grill for another 2 minutes or until the surface is charred.)
Step 4: Serve with Jaew (Thai Dried Chilli Dipping Sauce)
The sugar increases the caramelization on the surface of the meat when itβs grilled, and I love the crispy, slightly-charred bits.
HAPPY COOKING!
